Hi I'm Rosemarie and I like to write. I write short stories and longer fiction, poetry and occasionally articles. I'm working on quite a few things at the minute and wouldn't mind one day actually getting published in print.

#TONGUES is HERE!

I will be getting this and reading it, just as soon as I get my tablet to a WiFi connection. Can’t go wrong with a free book.

Remember to Like, Share, Comment, Retweet, DM it to friends, people you may think might like it (the subtle hint of ‘celebrity’ is used here, especially if a blue-tick kinda person follows you ;)), if you enjoy reading!

For anyone who isn’t aware: Tongues is a short story, which will not even take a day to read. It’s a horror/gore/thriller style, although some people may not find it gory enough (like me!).

It’s a FREE eBook. Yes, free. I’ve written this with the intention of just to reach as many people as possible! The eBook is not about making money, for me, it’s just one thing to be proud of and also, just to cross off the list of things to do this year!

You can download it from my SmashWords profile here: X Marks The Spot.

All you need to remember is the following formulae: Lather, Rinse, Repeat, Lather…

If any of the management are reading this, stop now and go think about what you’ve done/are about to cause. If you really think the misery you’re causing is acceptable then I pity you.

My Most Inspirational Writers – Terry Pratchett

Also this…

My favourite authors are Terry Pratchett, J R R. Tolkien and Jane Austen. I agree with geek with a pen’s sentiment: if I’m ever considered a half-decent writer it’ll be because of them.

Also, everyone must read Discworld!

I got excited when I got to this name in my list.  For some of the other writers it was difficult to try to put into words how they have affected me as a writer without sounding pretentious, although it’s been a good exercise to go back and think about their different styles from a different angle.  Terry Pratchett on the other hand is easy.  Basically I just think he’s awesome.

I could happily leave it there but I probably should elaborate for the sake of making this a more interesting post.  The first book I read of his was Guards! Guards! and it’s still my favourite.  I love any of the stories containing Sam Vimes and the witches as well.  Humour is key for his stories and it’s something I admire in writers who get it right because I’ve always found it difficult to achieve without it sounding forced…
